Review Article: “Solar Electricity and Solar Fuels: Status and Perspectives in the Context of the Energy Transition”, by Nicola Armaroli and Vincenzo BalzaniChem. Eur. J., 2016, 22, 32-57Content: The energy transition to renewables has started and the development of solar electricity is much more consolidated than that of solar fuels.
